Seek the answers in the skies
As we don't even know ourselves
Silent, as the sun sets before our eyes


In the wasteland that grows inside

For years of space technology
Still we haven't learned
Like children we explore
Things we can't yet comprehend


Open the doors of the past
With the beating of a heart
Dream as the years go by
Carrying our own cross
Seek the answers in the skies
As we don't even know ourselves
Silent, as the sun sets before our eyes
